The Right2Know Campaign presents the 2015 Whistleblower Calendar! The calendar highlights stories of ordinary people who have blown the whistle on corruption, injustice and abuse of power across South Africa, it aims to celebrate these brave individuals, and honour the sacrifices they have made to speak out. Two of the featured whistleblowers were killed for speaking out.

We call on all South Africans to bring an end to the persecution of whistleblowers, and defend their right to speak truth to power!
